I fell in love with a giant

'Land of Giants' Choi+Shines's BSA unbuilt Architecture Award winning design

This original design takes High-Voltage Pylon to another level, the architects sought to create an iconic, unforgettable pylon, that created an identity for Iceland and the client, Landset a public power companythat owns and runs the electrical transmission system in Iceland. This design offers an innovative and sustainable structure which is composed of a kit of parts, minimizing construction costs. The materials used: Steel, glas and concrete renders the structure predominantly recyclable.

I am so mesmerised by these pylons mainly because my design aesthetic and artistic inspirations are based on athe stylised form of the human figure, so visually these pylons invoke a sense of comfort for me.
Wouldn't be amazing to drive past a line of giants carrying, delivering and looking after our power source? The ides is electrifying (ehm, dry humor?)
